[...] And why does talking to the car repair tech sound like I'm at work?

I dunno. Are you a school psychologist?

Thank you! It seriously doesn't feel real yet, lol. No name yet - It needs one. Something has to surface soon for her tho!

The dealer applies an interior and exterior coating on it to go with the Ford Surface Protect warranty so Im going to let them do that.

is that like a ceramic coating? or something else? i am going to have to ask my dealer about that.

GUYS - I JUST CAUGHT MYSELF WANTING TO CHECK A TRACKER.............

Slowly step away from the tracker....slowly...thats it...stay away LOL

What she told you is incorrect. The 200,000 points is for those who chose the Mod Black Top in their original order and had to change to MIC. See below section from Ford emails:

Holy cow trying to catch up on dozens of pages! I didn’t get my ford points yet. I originally ordered a modular and switched. However this articles states only applies to 2021. Is that accurate? We still don’t have modular top available. Has anyone who received a 2022 confirm they received 200k ford points after dropping the modular top on their original order?

Our dealer offered us a ceramic coating, which we asked about, for $895. That's a low price for these parts, and I was concerned that either it would get done in-house by people who don't do them very often or it would be subbed out to the lowest bidder. So we are interviewing various shops in our area, from San Francisco to San Jose, which is rife with body shops, detailers, and vinyl & ceramic specialists. The most professional ones want to see the truck in order to talk options and do an estimate, but .......... touchy subject here in Rail Yard Limbo.

Do you get a message that specifically says "Inactive" or does the page just fail to show any info? Are you sure your dealer is using United?

If I go to united roads website and login and search the vin it brings up the bronco but the status instead of it saying pending pickup or in route it says inactive

How are you logging in? Do you mean just entering the VIN, checking the not a robot box, and hitting SEARCH? It's probably a good sign if your Bronco is showing up. I get zip, zilch, nada. Might be that my dealer isn't even using United (or North American, also null results)

I got the 200k with a first batch my22. Your dealer has to activate/ redeem them for it to show on your FordPass app.

You can create an account with your email and then you login and search by vin

You can create an account with your email and then you login and search by vin

I see something that says

"*Register your email to associate it with this Destination. Once you have registered your email, you can receive delivery receipts for this destination by email, OR you can login to the system using only your email address and it will automatically give you a list of all vehicles delivered within the last 30 days."

I assume that you can only register and get updates after it has a destination for your VIN. Is this correct? As I say, it's not showing a destination for my VIN. If this isn't correct, could you post the registration link? Thanks.

Article from The Detroit News: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/b...o-detroit-area-plants-chip-crunch/6654554001/

"Ford takes downtime at Chicago and Michigan plants amid chip crunch"

Or is it "we ran out of space to park half built vehicles"

Nope, IT.... but application development, not networking...

Yes I just registered with my email then if you search a vin it show the info on the vin ( I have searched some vins that don’t come up) I assume those vins are not in there system yet. But when you search a vin and it brings it up it will either say pending pickup, on hold, inactive, or in route, but I am not sure what it means when it says inactive.

You are going to LOVE it. It is gorgeous on the Bronco in person!!

It’s funny bc I never saw a VB Bronco in person until I picked her up yesterday. I agree it looks even better in person.
